obama doctrine means not leading at all. while most of the responsibility falls on the president and his administration, the congress, the house and the senate and media share some blame for failing to adequately investigate and bring attention to the many questions surrounding the administration's response to benghazi. aside from the handful of reporters who have stayed with this story and continued to raise questions about the administration's words and deeds, i can't help but wonder, where are "the new york times," "the washington post" or the network news programs? why in the wake of last week's deadly attack in algeria are no reporters investigating the serious links between al qaeda and the affiliates in north africa and the connection between the groups? equally important, why haven't they investigated both the circumstance of the attack and administration response over the last four months? despite a handful of hearings, many in classified settings done by very capable and good people, the american people have not be
